THIRTY EIGHT

Nadie sat beside her mother on her hospital bed as she slept. She had gotten tired already from crying. Scratch that. Weeping instead and not just crying.
Her mother didn't remember her or her sister due to a disease and her sister was mentally unstable.
Yet the world wasn't satisfied with her pain. The world was still against her.
She worked three jobs to survive in the world, to take care of her mother and sister.
The nurse assigned to take care of her mother entered and she quickly wiped her tears but she was surprised when the nurse spoke.
"I know it's not my place to say but I can imagine how hard this is for you. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease but we're trying our best to get her to be better."
"I know. I see her improving. I just miss my mom. That's all".
